About peace logo

peace logo

The peace logo -- three simple lines within a circle -- turned 50 on 4 April 2008.

It was designed by Gerald Holtom as "The Nuclear Disarmament logo" for the first Aldermaston March, organised by the Direct Action Committee against Nuclear War, Easter 1958 (4-7 April).

The logo was not copyrighted, and was available for use by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, also founded in 1958; it later became known in the wider world as a general-purpose peace symbol.

The design was a combination of letters of the flag semaphore alphabet for "D" and "N", standing for nuclear disarmament.

You are invited to post here pictures which clearly show this logo.
